Leeds City College Strategy 2019-2021 LEEDS CITY COLLEGE STRATEGY Leeds City College is the largest member of the Luminate Education Group and its vision, values and strategic objectives have been synonymous with it. Increasingly, however, as each group member forges its own identity and objectives, Leeds City College can stand as a distinct and successful college, making an important contribution to the group, the city of Leeds and the region more widely. A section from the Luminate Education Group Strategy The organisations (members) that are part of the Luminate Education Group believe that we will be ‘always stronger together’ supporting each other and creating a shared leadership and management culture. The focus for the Group Executive Team and the Luminate Group Board is to ensure that each organisation (group member), and the group as a whole, is successful, reaching potential and achieving strategic objectives. We are obsessively focused on transforming lives by providing outstanding education, training and support for all of our students. Group members support each other in order to secure greater long-term stability, strength and influence. In order to achieve success, all group members proactively help each other and share services for the benefit of all members and for all our students.

This document outlines the HE Strategy for the development and delivery of all Higher Education within the Leeds City College which became a reality on the 1st April 2009. Staff and students of Leeds College of Technology, Leeds Thomas Danby College and Park Lane College Leeds and Keighley merged to form what will be one of the biggest colleges in the country.

  • Annual Report to Parents and Governors on the Special Educational Needs & Disability Policy
    ANNUAL REPORT TO PARENTS AND GOVERNORS ON THE SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS & DISABILITY POLICY Schools have a duty to report to parents on the provision for SEND. Students with special educational needs have learning difficulties and disabilities that make it harder for them to learn than most students of the same age. These students may need extra or different help from that given to other students of the same age. The SEND Code of Practice (2014) lies at the heart of the Academy’s SEND policy and sets out the processes and procedures that all organisations should follow to meet the needs of students. The Code describes a graduated approach which recognises that students learn in different ways and can have different kinds of SEN. At Woodkirk Academy students may be on the SEND register as requiring “Additional Support”. This is so step-by-step support can be put in place or specialist expertise can be sought to help the students overcome difficulties. Students who have more complex needs may have a Education & Healthcare Plan (EHC Plan). The Education & Healthcare Plans (EHC Plans) came into force in September 2014, and have replaced Statements. Key Personnel SENDCo S Blight SEND Governor R Aiston Policies The academy’s SEND policy was amended in September 2014 in line with the new SEND Code of Practice (2014). The policy is reviewed annually and follows the format of all academy policies. Number of students as identified on the SEND register - September 2017 (please be aware that numbers on register change throughout the year) As of September 2017 (totals are changeable throughout the year) Year Additional Support Statement/EHCP Total Year 7 13 2 15 Year 8 14 3 17 Year 9 18 2 20 Year 10 13 0 13 Year 11 17 0 17 Year 12 5 1 6 Year 13 5 0 5 Total 85 8 93 % of Academy Roll 4.5% 0.42% 4.96% National Average 10.5% 1.6% 1875 students on roll 10.5% of pupils in secondary academies have special educational needs, compared to 10.7% in all state funded secondary schools.
